Negotiations between the two teams remain ongoing
|
Conversations between Internacional and Flamengo surrounding midfielder Thiago Maia have faced ups and downs in recent weeks. Despite an agreement almost reached, negotiations have cooled down in recent days. Internacional, even after hiring midfielder Fernando, remains interested in the Flamengo athlete.
International's last proposal was made in mid-February, with an offer in the region of 4 million euros. Thiago Maia, who played just once this year for Flamengo, expressed interest in moving to Inter, looking for more playing opportunities.
HOW WILL THE OPERATION BE LIKE?The vice-president of football at Internacional, Alessandro Barcellos , commented on the matter after the team's victory over Juventude. He stated that the club is dealing with several issues, but in a different way compared to previous weeks. He also highlighted that any negotiation must fall within the financial limits established by the club.
In addition to the interest in Thiago Maia, Internacional had planned to hire a left-back to compete for position with Renê and a goalkeeper to make up for the absences of Rochet, who has rib discomfort with no deadline for his return, and Ivan, who is out until the second semester due to surgery on his right knee.
International considers that it is Flamengo's responsibility to resolve issues related to Lille, which has a percentage of the midfielder's economic rights. The expectation is that negotiations will continue until the close of the transfer window, with both parties seeking an agreement that meets their interests.
Revealed at Fluminense, the 20-year-old striker was already on the red-black radar

A former Flamengo target in the primeira window of the year, is almost certainly a rival from Rio. This is because Botafogo overcame previous difficulties with Udinese and is still in the process of signing Matheus Martins, a 21-year-old striker. The operation will cost 10 million euros (R$ 60 million), with a further 2 million euros in bonuses, for 90% of the attacker's economic rights.
Only the athlete's signature separates the negotiation from being assured officially, but both parties already consider the operation as done.
Flamengo even negotiated with the striker, while he was on vacation in Rio de Janeiro. Some meetings took place, but there was no agreement with the Europeans. Another point was that at the time of the red-black attack, the player had the desire to continue in Europe.
So far, the rubro-negro< /a> has not signed any players since the start of the transfer window. The attempts with midfielder Marcos Antônio were unsuccessful and the Rio club ended up taking a beating from São Paulo, which signed the player. So far, the only name in which Flamengo is negotiating is with midfielder Claudinho, from Zenit, in Russia. Despite the Russians' tough game, everything is fine between the player and Flamengo.
The striker received his nickname due to his goal celebrations

Last Wednesday (24), striker Carlinhos secured three points for Flamengo over Vitória. Due to his way of celebrating, the player received the nickname "Bellingham da Gávea" from the red-black fans. Thus, the athlete commented on the joke.
"For me: Ronaldo, Romário and Adriano, I'm a big fan of them and I always try to imitate them. I know there's a lot missing. And I like the fans because they're creative: “it's Adriano Imperador's Avatar”, “Bellingham da Gávea”… That's cool. Here, for the guys, I'm the “thunder” because a partner of mine said: “Can I make a stop at your boot”? forget it", he said, in an interview with FlaTV.
CARLINHOS TALKS ABOUT THE REASON FOR THE CELEBRATIONIn addition to commenting on the fans' joke, Carlinhos also spoke about the meaning of the way he celebrates goals as a Flamengo player.
"I came from an evangelical family, and at home there were a lot of evangelical films. Even though my name is Carlos Moisés, I always liked the opposite side, which is Pharaoh Ramses . My mother would scold me, I would put my hand on my waist (laughs)", he said, before finishing:
"When I grew up, I always did this to her: “Mom, Ramses has arrived”. In this review I told my brothers that this was going to be the celebration. My posture was stupid, but it was more to provoke my mother. This position he takes is one of authority, a bit harshly, I identified with the celebration", he concluded.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT CONFRONTATIONSo, with Carlinhos at his disposal, Flamengo started preparation for the clash against Atlético-GO this Friday afternoon (26). The game will be on Sunday (28), valid for the 20th round of the Brasileirão, at 4pm.
In addition to the challenges on the field, Lorran also faces a delicate situation off it
|
The young striker Lorran, just 18 years old, is going through a moment of transition in his career at Flamengo. After losing space in the professional team under the command of Tite, Lorran returned to playing for the youth team. Last Wednesday, he was decisive in scoring the first goal in the 2-1 victory over Botafogo, in a game valid for the Brazilian Under-20 Championship, held in Gávea.
Lorran emerged as one of the great promises from Flamengoduring the period of the Copa América, when he replaced star Arrascaeta. During this period, he met the fans' expectations and was embraced by the red and black public. However, as is common in the trajectory of young athletes, Lorran began to fluctuate in his performance. In the final stretch of his participation in the main team, he became the target of criticism and boos at Maracanã, which led the technical committee to keep him. In Flamengo's last two games, he wasn't even mentioned.
FLAMENGO PREPARES JEWEL FOR THE CLUB'S BASE
Within the club, this oscillation is seen as a natural part of the development of a young player who is in the process of transitioning from basic to professional. To minimize the negative impacts of this phase, Flamengo developed a special project focused on shielding Lorran and enhancing its development. The club is aware of the environment around the player, especially after the episode of booing in the game against Cruzeiro, when Lorran expressed his frustration on social media with the phrase: "I want them to doubt".
